FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an optically active diazabicyclooctane derivative defined by formula (F) below, which is useful as a pharmaceutical intermediate for β-lactamase inhibitor, and a process for preparing the same.

-   -   In formula (F) above, R¹ represents CO₂R, CO₂M, or CONH₂,         wherein R represents a methyl group, a tert-butyl group, an         allyl group, a benzyl group, or a 2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl         group, and M represents a hydrogen atom, an inorganic cation, or         an organic cation; and R² represents a benzyl group or an allyl         group.

BACKGROUND ART

Penicillins and cephalosporins are 3-lactam antibiotics which are most widely and frequently used in the clinic. However, the development of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics by various pathogens severely has had a damaging effect on maintaining the effective treatment of bacterial infections. The most significant known mechanism related to the development of bacterial resistance is the production of class A, C, and D 3-lactamases having a serine residue at the active center. These enzymes decompose the 3-lactam antibiotic, resulting in the loss of the antimicrobial activities. Class A β-lactamases preferentially hydrolyze penicillins while class C β-lactamases have a substrate profile favoring cephalosporins. As commercially available β-lactamase inhibitors, clavulanic acid, sulbactam, and tazobactam are known, and these inhibitors are effective mainly against class A β-lactamase producing bacteria, and used as a mixture with a penicillin antibiotic. However, 250 types or more of β-lactamases have been reported to date, and among them, in addition to the expansion of class C β-lactamases as well as extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) belonging to class A and D β-lactamases, further resistant bacteria which produce class A KPC-2 β-lactamase decomposing even carbapenem as a last resort for β-lactam antibiotic is being considered as a problem. Although the development of a novel inhibitor is strongly demanded as the commercially available inhibitors are ineffective against these β-lactamases and potential inhibitors are disclosed, there are only a few candidates under development.

In recent years, U.S. Pat. No. 7,112,592 (patent document 1) and U.S. Pat. No. 7,612,087 (patent document 2) have disclosed that a racemic diazabicyclooctane derivative is a promising compound in the treatment of an infectious disease as a non-β-lactam antimicrobial or β-lactamase inhibitor, and have demonstrated the working Example of a racemic diazabicyclooctane derivatives from a racemic cis-5-hydroxypiperidine-2-carboxylic acid derivative and those biological activity.

With respect to the optically active diazabicyclooctane derivative, in working Example 1 of WO2009/091856 A2 (patent document 3) and WO2010/126820 A2 (patent document 4), a process for preparing a derivative having a specific amide side chain is described. Further, working Example 1 of patent document 3 has merely a description of a chemical name of (2S,5R)-6-(benzyloxy)-7-oxo-1,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxylic acid as an intermediate for research, and similarly, in WO2009/133442 A1 (patent document 5), a chemical name of (2S,5R)-6-hydroxy-7-oxo-1,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxamide is described, and in EP 2135959 A1 (patent document 6), a chemical name of (2S,5R)-1,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxamide, 7-oxo-6-(sulfoxy)-monosodium salt is described.

On the other hand, with respect to (2S,5S)-5-hydroxypiperidine-2-carboxylic acid and (2S,5R)-5-(benzyloxyamino)piperidine-2-carboxylic acid, which are considered as an important starting material of the diazabicyclooctane derivative, and derivatives thereof, one having an ester side chain has been reported in Tetrahedron Asymmetry 2006, 17(17), 2479-2486 (non-patent document 2) and J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun., 1993, 1434 (non-patent document 3), and one having an amide side chain has been reported in working Example 1C of patent document 3, Org. Lett., 2009, 11(16), 3566-3569 (non-patent document 3), and patent document 4. Further, as a process for preparing a derivative not through a (2S,5S)-5-hydroxypiperidine-2-carboxylic acid derivative, US 2010/197928 A (patent document 7) discloses a process for preparing benzyl (2S)-5-(benzyloxyimino)piperidine-2-carboxylate or benzyl (2S,5R/S)-5-(benzyloxyamino)piperidine-2-carboxylare.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention

However, the prior arts about the β-lactamase inhibitor having a diazabicyclooctane skeleton, particularly about the diazabicyclooctane derivative as a common intermediate used for preparing the β-lactamase inhibitor have a number of technical problems to be solved as mentioned below.

Patent documents 1 and 2 show the working example of the racemic diazabicyclooctane derivative, but do not disclose a process for preparing the optically active diazabicyclooctane derivative and a process for optical resolution of the derivative and data from instrumental analyses for the optically active compound, particularly data for demonstrating the preparation of the optically active compound, such as angle of rotation, and there has not been demonstrated that the optically active compound is actually obtained in an independent form.

In the processes described in patent documents 1 and 2, the selection of the carboxylate ester protecting group at the 2-position is inappropriate, and therefore allyl trans-5-(benzyloxyamino)piperidine-2-carboxylate represented by formula (b) in the reaction scheme below as a precursor for the intermediate and allyl trans-6-(benzyloxy)-7-oxo-1,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxylate represented by formula (d) below as a desired important intermediate cannot be efficiently prepared. In the field of drug manufacturing, when a compound has an asymmetric carbon atom, it is desired that only a single enantiomer is selectively prepared according to the object, but it is not easy to directly apply the processes of patent documents 1 and 2 to the separately obtained optically active (2S,5S)-5-hydroxypiperidine-2-carboxylic acid derivative, or to optically resolve the mass-produced racemic diazabicyclooctane derivative and supply the resultant optically active compound to the research and drug manufacturing application.

-   -   In the above reaction scheme, TFA represents a         2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl group, NaBH4 represents sodium boron         hydride, and BnO represents a benzyloxy group.

In patent documents 3, 5, and 6, chemical names of (2S,5R)-6-(benzyloxy)-7-oxo-1,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxylic acid, (2S,5R)-6-hydroxy-7-oxo-1,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxamide, (1R,2S,5R)-1,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxamide, and 7-oxo-6-(sulfoxy)-monosodium salt as optically active compounds are described, but, with respect to the process for preparing them, merely reference is made to patent documents 1 and 2 which disclose a process for preparing the racemic modification.

Only patent documents 3 and 4 demonstrate a process for preparing the optically active diazabicyclooctane derivative, but this process is specific only to a compound having a specific amide side chain at the 2-position, and thus the value of the application of the process to the common intermediate is not suggested. Further, an attempt was made to apply the introduction reaction of a benzyloxyamino group through a para-trifluoromethylbenzenesulfonyloxy group or the intramolecular urea formation reaction using triphosgene disclosed in patent documents 3 and 4 to a compound having an ester side chain at the 2-position, but stereoselectivity of the benzyloxyamino group was not observed and the substantial intramolecular urea formation reaction did not proceed which indicates that the above reactions cannot be directly applied to the compound having an ester side chain at the 2-position.

-   -   In the above reaction scheme, Boc represents a         tert-butoxycarbonyl group, pCF₃PhSO₂Cl represents         para-trifluoromethylbenzenesulfonyl chloride, KN(Boc)OBn         represents potassium N-tert-butoxycarbonylbenzyloxyamide, and         BnO represents a benzyloxy group; the compounds of formulae (f)         and (g) shown in the above reaction scheme cannot be directly         separated, and therefore the structures of them were determined         by NMR after deprotection of Boc group, intramolecular urea         formation using diphosgene, and isolation of the product.

Further, patent document 4 also demonstrates a process for preparing (2S,5S)-di-tert-butyl 5-hydroxypiperidine-1,2-dicarboxylate, but selective deprotection of the tert-butoxycarbonyl group and the tert-butyl ester on the piperidine ring is difficult, and further selective tert-butyl esterification of only the carboxyl group separately from the hydroxyl group is not easy after deprotection of all the protective groups. Therefore, it is difficult to industrially use the disclosed compound as a starting material directly for the common intermediate aimed at by the present inventors.

In patent document 7, the amount of the trimethylsulfoxonium iodide used in the preparation of the important starting material is not disclosed, and it is unclear whether the method is a practicable process without a side reaction, such as decomposition of the ester or possibility of racemization due to an excess reagent. In actual fact, data from an instrumental analysis showing the planar configuration of the formed ketosulfoxonium ylide compound is described, but with respect to the compounds including the products formed in the subsequent steps, data from an instrumental analysis showing the optical purity, particularly such as angle of rotation, is not demonstrated. Further, the stereoselectivity of the benzyloxyamino group at the 5-position is as low as cis-trans=1:1 and thus the process is not efficient. The formed cis-trans isomer is present in the form of a mixture which is difficult to separate, and there is no description showing that a diazabicyclooctane derivative can be actually derived from the prepared mixture.

As described above, a process for preparing an optically active diazabicyclooctane derivative, particularly a 2-carboxylic acid or ester derivative useful as a common intermediate has not been disclosed hitherto. Therefore, the development of an easily practicable process for preparing an optically active diazabicyclooctane derivative having a carboxylic acid and ester side chain, which can be used as a common intermediate, has been desired for the research of a more highly effective novel compound and pharmaceutical development.

In this situation, the present inventors have made extensive and intensive studies with a view toward developing an optically active diazabicyclooctane derivative, particularly a 2-carboxylic acid and ester derivative, which is useful as a pharmaceutical intermediate for β-lactamase inhibitor, and an easily practicable process for preparing the same. As a result, it has been found that, by using as a starting material a (2S,5S)-5-hydroxypiperidine-2-carboxylic acid derivative which is a known compound, an optically active diazabicyclooctane derivative can be industrially supplied with excellent reproductivity in high yield through a relatively short process without lowering the optical purity of the derivative, and further that the optically active diazabicyclooctane derivative obtained by such a process can be used as a pharmaceutical intermediate for β-lactamase inhibitor, and the present invention has been completed.

The optically active (2S,5R)-7-oxo-1,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxylic acid derivative defined by general formula (F), which is newly provided by the present invention, can be prepared from a compound of formula (E), and the compound of formula (E) can be obtained from a compound of formula (A), which is a known compound, as a starting material basically in accordance with the process shown by the chemical reaction scheme below.

-   -   In the above chemical reaction scheme, Cbz represents a         benzyloxycarbonyl group, t-Bu represents a tert-butyl group, TFA         represents a 2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl group, OBn represents a         benzyloxy group, R² represents a benzyl group or an allyl group,         preferably a benzyl group, and the figures in parentheses         indicate the number of the respective steps.

Specifically, the compound defined by formula (F) of the present invention can be obtained through the first step for removing the benzyloxycarbonyl group of a compound represented by formula (A) to derive a compound represented by formula (B), the second step for subjecting the nitrogen atom of the piperidine to trifluoroacetylation to derive a compound represented by formula (C), the third step for substituting the hydroxyl group at the 5-position with benzyloxyamine in the presence of a hydroxyl group activating agent to derive a compound represented by formula (D), the fourth step for removing the trifluoroacetyl group to derive a compound represented by formula (E), and the fifth step for conducting intramolecular urea formation and then conversion of R¹, R² side chains to derive an optically active (2S,5R)-7-oxo-1,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxylic acid derivative defined by formula (F).

The selection of the tert-butyl ester of the compound represented by formula (A), which can used as a starting material in the present invention, has a very important role in selectively removing the trifluoroacetyl group of the compound represented by formula (D). In addition, the benzyloxycarbonyl group which is a protecting group for NH on the piperidine ring can be deblocked easily separately from the tert-butyl ester, and hence the compound of formula (A) is an optimum starting material as a precursor for the compound represented by formula (B). Further, the process of the present invention is an extremely useful process such that a trans-oxyamino compound can be selectively prepared without forming an unnecessary cis-benzyloxyamino compound. That is, the above-mentioned process using the compound represented by formula (A) as a starting material is extremely useful also as a process for efficiently preparing optically active (2S,5R)-tert-butyl 5-(benzyloxyamino)piperidine-2-carboxylate represented by formula (E).

The compound represented by formula (A), which is used as a starting material in the process of the present invention, can be prepared by the process reported in non-patent document 1, but can also be prepared by the more efficient process which is shown by the reaction scheme below from a known compound represented by formula (k) below described in non-patent document 4.

-   -   In the above chemical reaction scheme, Cbz represents a         benzyloxycarbonyl group, and t-Bu represents a tert-butyl group.

The optically active (2S,5R)-7-oxo-1,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxylic acid derivative defined by formula (F), which is provided by the present invention, can be prepared by, for example, a process which comprises subjecting a compound represented by formula (E) to intramolecular urea formation, and then subjecting the resultant compound represented by formula (F1) to at least one of the steps: a step (step a) for cleaving the ester, a step (step b) for converting the compound to the form of a salt of an inorganic cation or organic cation, a step (step c) for treating the compound with an acid to convert the compound to a free acid, a step (step d) for performing carbamoylation for the carboxylic acid, a step (step e) for converting the carboxylic acid to an ester, a step (step f) for removing the benzyl group of the benzyloxy group at the 6-position, and a step (step g) for converting the group at the 6-position to allyloxy.

The symbols shown in the formulae are as defined above.

In the specific embodiments of the above-mentioned process for obtaining the compound defined by formula (F) from the compound defined by formula (E), as shown below, the compound represented by formula (F) in each embodiment can be obtained through step (5-1) for intramolecular urea formation and then at least one of steps (5-2) to (5-8). More specifically, these steps can be conducted in accordance with the process shown by the chemical reaction scheme below.

β-Lactamase Enzyme Inhibitory Activity

Using P. aeruginosa PAO1 genome as a templete, a DNA for encoding an AmpC β-lactamase domain excluding a signal peptide was amplified with PCR. This PCR product was incorporated into pET-28b(+)vector (Merck), introduced into E. coli BL21 (Merck), and, under induction of 1 mM isopropyl-β-D-(−)-thiogalactopyranoside (Nacalai Tesque), cultured overnight at 20° C. to express AmpC. After the bacterial cell was collected, AmpC was purified from the cell extract obtained by ultrasonic treatment, using CM Sepharose Fast Flow (GE Healthcare) and HiTrap Heparin HP (GE Healthcare) at 4° C.

For the measurement of β-lactamase inhibitory activity, 100 μM (final concentration) nitrocefin (Oxoid) was used as a substrate, and 2.5% DMSO, 10 μg/mL bovine serum derived albumin (Sigma-Aldrich) and 50mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.0 were used as a reaction solution. To each well of a 96-well plate were added test compounds (compounds shown in Table 14) and AmpC (final concentration 0.5 nM), followed by pre-incubation at 30° C. for 10 minutes. Nitrocefin was added to each well to be mixed therein, followed by incubation at 30° C. for 20 minutes, and Multiskan Ascent (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used to measure 492 nm wavelength, thereby measuring nitrocefin hydrolytic activity of AmpC, to determine enzyme inhibitory activity. As a control, a reaction solution excluding AmpC was prepared, and the concentration of a test compound exhibiting 50% inhibition was determined to be IC₅₀ value. The results were as shown in Table 15.

Combinatorial Effect

The combinatorial effect of the test compound with a β-lactam agent against bacteria was evaluated using AmpC constitutive expression strain selected from P. aeruginosa PAO1 through agent exposure. Using piperacillin (PIPC, Sigma-Aldrich) as a β-lactam agent, measurement was conducted by agar plate dilution process in which minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of PIPC is based on Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI process). That is, an agara plate containing 4 μg/mL (final concentration) of test compound and PIPC at each concentration in Mueller-Hinton agar (Becton, Dickinson and Company) was made, and bacteria cultured overnight in cation-adjusted Muller-Hinton broth (Becton, Dickinson and Company) were adjusted in the same medium so as to have 10⁴ CFU/spot and inoculated on a plate containing an agent. This plate containing an agent was cultured overnight at 35° C., and the minimum agent concentration in which no growth of bacteria is observed was determined to be MIC. The results were as shown in Table 16.
